railroad with the B. & M. line is attracting
much attention the state over. Mr. G.. G..
Dawes, the attorney who presented the facts
TO Attorney General Leese, has been CON
graduated many times upon the clear and
concise statement of the case, and public
sentiment along the line of the old B. & NJ.
road is making itself felt. When the people
along this line realize the extent Of the rob-
berry perpetrated upon them by this consoli-
dation the attorney general will be apt to
hear in unmistakable terms the demand that
the wrongs be righted and that the courts
take from the B. & M. that which 1t ac-
qured against the law and restore the Atchi-
son & Nebraska road to the state as com
peting line.
Among the visitors at Lincoln yesterday
was State Senator Holmes, of johnson
county, whose service TO the last senate was
conclusive that he was not to any remarkable
extent an anti-railroad man. In converse
tion upon the topic of the consolidation, Mr.
Holmes said that the question was Great
ing much interest in his county and
that the people there would endorse judicial
action in the matter of the absorption of the
AtchisOn & Nebraska road Mr.. Holmes
said that his county was at the present time
engaged in the task of paying off the bonds
voted the old AtchisOn & Nebraska road and
that, since the consolidation, competition in
rates was unknown. In fact Immediately
following the absorption of the AtChson ~
Nebraska line by the B. & M. road rates
along the line had been advanced 1t is
further matter of history in johnson county
that the people of that locality looked for
brighter days and more prosperous times in
securing the B. & M. line from Nebraska
City through Nemaha county to Tecumseh,
but this line was hardly In the field until the
consolidation was effected and the entire
county placed at the mercy of the Burlington
ft,l hot
to community in its exclusive control is
illustrated in their tariff sheet which for
years have been mass of discrimination
against communities in their control,
haTnSe county at points on the ts old
tale of high rates put into effect Immediately
after the Is. g. NJ swallowed up the Atchison
& Nebraska line, and TO the north the people
of Seward and David City and the counties
of Seward and Butler can tell what effect it
had on their prosperity when the B. & M. de-
stroyed competition in that territory From
present indications the people in those locali-
ties that have suffered most from Is. IL NJ
robbery against the law will make no unccr-
tain demands that justice be done at this late
day and that the supreme court pass upon the
matter at a very early day.
